Celestial Lions Kill Team (Part 9)

Following on from Part 8, I have been working on finishing up the one model that is magnetized. He is a Special Weapons Trooper that I have magnetized three special weapons arms so I can adjust his options as needed. You can see how I did the work of integrating these magnets into this model in Part 5.

I had to decide on the final position for the left arm, as it will be bracing and securing the weapons when attached. I settled on a 'firing' position.

Brace arm attached.

The next few pics shows how the weapons arms attach:

Grav gun.

Melta gun.

Plasma gun.

Finally I added the head which I positioned to appear to be looking in the direction that the gun is aiming. I also attached the shoulder pads and if you compare the following pics to the ones above you can see how well that they cover the magnet joins and surgical scars left over from the conversion.

Grav gun finished.

Plasma gun finished.

Melta gun finished.

And with that, our Multi-Option Weapons Specialist is completed! The next, and ultimate post, will be about the Veteran Sergeant who I am very much looking forward to completing.

Oh cool. And yes the thought has crossed my mind that this should be an obvious chapter for Primaris reinforcements...still on the fence about that idea though, as I sort hate hand painting those damn icons. 😁

About Me

I got into table-top wargaming hobby around the same time I got into RPGs. In fact, the game that has consumed my imagination the most, Warhammer 40,000, was trying to be both back then in '88. Even though the game quickly abandoned the RPG aspects, I've stuck with the hobby of miniature painting and buildling ever since, although my devotion wavers depending on what's going in the real world. I also do 2D art,but saddly my joe-job has evolved into a full-on career (in wireless cellphone repair) and my art pursuits have taken a backseat. I'm hoping this blog will ultimately show-case my 'return to form' so to speak. It's possible that if you've been involved in the 40k hobby as far back as the late '90s that you might've seen my work in Inquisitor Magazine.
